Julius Rosenberg was an American engineer who worked for the Army Signal Corps and his wife, Ethel Greenglass, served as a secretary. Married in 1939, they met as members of the Young Communist League. The Rosenbergs became the first U.S. citizens to be found guilty during peacetime and executed for espionage.
